Lawyer for ‘Q Shaman’ Urges Trump to Pardon Rioters
National Review ^ | 1/15/2021 | Britney Bernstein

A lawyer for Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon shaman” who took part in the rioting at the U.S. Capitol last week, is calling on President Trump to pardon his client and to “stand up and own these people” who participated in the unrest.

In an appearance on CNN on Thursday, attorney Albert Watkins said his client “felt like he was answering the call of our president” when he stormed the U.S. Capitol with a pro-Trump mob last week. He likened the president’s supporters who participated in the siege to the Jonestown cult members who committed mass suicide in 1978.

Trump had to undergo a fake impeachment for their actions, and they want him to pardon them? ‘Scuse me, they can go straight to the Hot Place.

Just pardon the Olympic Champion swimmer who was arrested after being in the Capitol.

This turd looks more like one of Soros’ dummies as opposed to one of the dummies that fell for the ridiculous Q nonsense.

I’m telling you guys that at least a solid minority of Q leadership are Leftist PsyOp types. Not all of them (I believe most are good citizens in need of a mystery novel), but a small part of the leadership are Leftist PsyOps. You think someone who was pro-Trump would a) go on CNN and b) liken the protestors to those poor souls that drank that that poisoned Flavor-Aid at Jonestown ....?

Don’t be duped FRiends.

I would have been there.

This is what resisting globalism and communism looks like.

Get over your hangups. These ate people who are so fed up that they had nothing to lose.

I know that feeling lately.

It really doesn’t speak well for the strength of your case when your first attempt at defending yourself is requesting a pardon for your actions.

Would pardoning them be considered a High Crime or Misdemeanor? Can President Trump get the impeachment hat trick by Wednesday?

No way.

Those who participated, especially those who were violent and destructive, must be held legally accountable.

If he was a loyal Trump supporter he wouldn't suddenly be claiming to be part of a Jonestown Cult.

He is a phony.

The short answer is no! Don’t ask for the long answer because it gets profane!

and the weak pathetic people on this thread comments shows you why conservatives are this close to being marched into camps by the left.
We have pussies on our side who decry law and order with the entire system of law is against us.

Agreed. If I was trying to take over the world but needed to get conservatives on board with the program, I think I would try to win them over with something like QAnon. Just enough truth to keep them interested...

Yup. This attorney's statement shows that it is an obvious setup. This cements my suspicion that Mr. Shaman is also owned by the Left.

Well, they did let him go. Will he ever be charged with anything? Call me sceptical.
